25 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
26 | .PP |
---|
27 | This procedure delays the calling process by the number of |
---|
28 | milliseconds given by the \fIms\fR parameter and returns |
---|
29 | after that time has elapsed. It is typically used for things |
---|
30 | like flashing a button, where the delay is short and the |
---|
31 | application need not do anything while it waits. For longer |
---|
32 | delays where the application needs to respond to other events |
---|
33 | during the delay, the procedure \fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR |
---|
34 | should be used instead of \fBTcl_Sleep\fR. |
---|
35 | .SH KEYWORDS |
---|
36 | sleep, time, wait |
